Abstract

This study reviews the actual knowledge on functions of the central complex (CX) and the mushroom bodies (MBs) in a genetic model insect, the fly Drosophila melanogaster. Ongoing research of UNIMAINZ and respective data are included. Reference is made to other insects, where respective functions are not yet studied in Drosophila. Neuroanatomical information is reported with regard to the general flow of information in these central brain neuropils. Particular projection systems and circuits are taken into account where this can be linked to functions. Models are developed.
